Hello,

I'm a new Attorney. I'm only been practicing for little over a year or so. I'm trying to navigate our small legal community where I am. I have superiors who treat other attorneys as opps no matter what. Even out of a court context. They want me to do the same. I don't get the purpose or value of treating other attorneys as enemies, regardless if whether they're opposing counsel or not. It feels unnecessarily toxic and unhealthy. I feel like the cutthroat "me against the world" approach only exists in TV and movies and shouldn't be emulated IRL.
